    A must see when in Cape Town. African penguins started this colony in 1982 and today there is just over 2000 birds at this beach. November/December it gets a bit smelly with most of the birds being in their malting stage for 3 weeks long. These birds are on the protected species list and numbers are sadly still dropping. They always provide a good laugh with their funny waddle and strange things they get up to.

    30 minutes Admission ticket included
